  1. update (one month left to end of the season one):

    Alex Berenguer as a happy reserve player wants to rise hes wage up to over 3,5mln per year from 1,2/y and status to be key player.

    another left winger - Iker Muniain also wants 4mln from around 2,2mln. I cant afford this so I put him on the transfer list, but hes demands are so high that noone wants him even for free.

     

  2. Let's talk about player demands realism.

    example 1:  Crystal Palace finishing second in the Premier League in first season. At the same time Aston Villa get's relegated. At transfer window Aston Villa make bid for a Crystal Palace star player Tyrick Mitchell. After rejecting bid, Mitchell get furious because he wants to join Aston Villa. He prefers to play in Championship than in the Champions League. Does it looks realistic? Reputation mechanism have to take into consideration extreme reputation changes.

    After this i get upset and just start a new save, but things just get even worst.

    example 2: Athletic Bilbao. This is special case, because Bilbao players are ofen very loyal, and transfers of star Athletic players are extremly rare.

    Spoiler

    Departures of their stars in the last 20 years:

    Kepa to Chelsea 18/19  /Athletic finished 9

    Laporte to City 17/18  /Athletic finished 12

    Ander to United 14/15  /Athletic finished 8

    Llorente to Juventus 13/14  /Athletic finished 4

    Javi Martinez to Bayern 12/13  /Athletic finished 14

    Del Horno to Chelsea 05/06  /Athletic finished 14

    All those players leave Bilbao for top clubs in their leagues and one of the best in Europe, while only Javi leave Bilbao when they qualified to europan competitions.

    case 1: Raul Garcia

    Raul was earning over 8 mln per year from Bilbao in hes last year of contract and he refuse to sing new one for less than 9mln/year. In the same year he agrees sign 1mln/year deal from PSG. 

    case 2: This is very common over the years. Most of the boards prefer to pay wages for the players who wont get any playing time over selling them cheap. Athletic board was more interesed to pay 4mln/year to Yuri than sell him for 1.2mln. They demand 1.4mln offer. So 0.2mln euro make a difference worth 5.2mln.

    case 3:  Contract one of the coachs of Baskonia (3rd team, non league) was going to ends in 6 months. Hes salary is 60k/year, and now he demands...1,5mln. 25x wage rise:)

    case 4: Athletic on their way to Champions League. Inaki and Sancet bids.

    After half of the season I just smash the league. We are currently unbeaten after 15 matches with only 1 draw and 14 wins, 46-6 in terms of goals. We are on the easy way to won a league, at least to play in Champions League but after a bids for my two key players game are going to be way harder.

    So Manchester United (currently outside CL spot) make a bid for Inaki, who instantly get upset after I reject first bit. Wole team stand for him and want me to sell our best goalscorer for less than hes market value. Morale of the wole team dropped drastically. Similar story with Sanced bid. So I got 2 ways: 1. Sell every player who get a bid and try to play with reservs or reject offerts and try to play with angry players  with no morale.

    It is not realistic to me that Inaki or Sancet wants to join United in the middle of the great season, but even if it is, the reason they wanna leave is ridiculous. They want to play in Champions League and in actual club they don't see any chances to play there in near future.

    Would be really great if players could just see table in the real time, before making stupid demands. 

    I don't understand why every player who's not first choice or v.deep reserve don't wan't to extend contract without 1.5 - 2x wage rise and to be key player (even when they are happy with their actual playing time). This is far away from realism. It's easier to sign new contract of first team player with similar wage than a reserve player with 1.5x rise. Same story with juniors. Literally every young boy without enough talent to be part of first team wants over 300-400k per year and after their contract expires they agree to train in new team for like 100k or similar to their previous contract. 

     

     

     

     

     

  3. I know there was topic about that, but I cant find it.

    I just test the game with FC Barcelona, and after first season Memphis Depay is marked as a legend of the club, ahead of Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, LE, Pique, Ronaldinho etc. 

    He won League, Cup, and get rekt by Liverpool on CL semi final. Scored 60g in 48m. The game just trying to tell me this one (good but not great) season is better than duble treble? wasy ahead of Suarez who is just liked, not even a star?

    I understand it could be happend on idk...Villarreal, or similar club with no history, but at Barca it seems like a bug for me. Especially given FM2021 where I can't get a legend status after winning league and CL multiple times with Saragossa.

  4. 1. Request Promises about loaning out by young players who I wanna keep in 1st team
    2. Brazil clubs decline bigger offerts from my EU club even when other Brazilian club activate release clauzule which is worse than my offer.
    3. Not being consider as a club legend even when I won 3x Ligue title in a row with club who never even been in 1st division. At the same time also my striker isn't legend. Apparently 3x Golden Boot awarded player is worse than a striker who scored 30 goals in 6 seasons in lover divisions.
    4. Speed of decrease in attributes after 30yo, and the same, unrealistic 'way' of getting old by all players.
    5. AI clubs which dont wanna swap players even if we both wanna players from each other. They prefer to pay me for example 10m for my player and sell their for 5m.
    6. AI national team menagment. Called up for national team based on CA/reputation instead of form. In my current save Ernesto Valverde prefer to play Rodrigo (4 appearances in whole season for Leeds 0 goals) in front of Spain team instead of Carbonell (36a/51g for Zaragossa 1st div).
    7. Unrealistics offensive tactic works. I won the league in a season when I just got promoted by playing 442 where 2 of my central mids was Mezzala on attack.

    The obvious answer, however, is to promise nothing and that works as well.

    Its impossible to renew ANY contract with talented U18 player without promise to loan them out. 

    I was trying to play 4 clubs from 3 different leagues and its always ending the same way. I can't renew contract and give chance to young player in the first team, because I gonna break promise.

    I cant even loan them out to club with best training facilities or to club where they gonna play in the first team and reject worse offers at the same time because they gonna get angry.

    Game in unplayable for my playstyle. I love to play in spanish league and develop young talents. But in this version I gonna lost my best wonderkids due to low free relese clausule or I gonna stop their develop by loan them to clubs which they dont ganna get play time.

  6. I totally agree. There should be more late bloomers and more flexible age when they improve.

    But for me, older players are much more unrealistic. Real players at age of 31+ has nothing similar to the game players. In the game its always the same. Rapidly decrease physical attributes and no mental increase. Look  how at Ze Roberto mentals increase  when ge gets older. Look at Seedorf physical. I would love to get a chance to sign old players not only for mentoring. 

  7. How should I interpret Pace and Acceleration stats?

    I assume Acc is how quickly player can reach hes full speed, and Pace is how fast player can run when he already reach hes full speed. But this definition making me confused. For example:

    Player A: acc:20 pace:10

    Player B: acc:10 pace:20

    Maximum speed of payer B is 2 times faster than player A.

    Player A can reach 1/2 of Player B full speed 2x faster. 

    So if they both start a short run (not long enough to exceed Player A top speed), will they running exact the same? 

     

  8. Hi. I didn't use 4-2-3-1 wide for ages, but my currently club looks great to try it out. I've a great season and at the start of new one I need to choose my pitch size. I didn't pay attention which one was better for me at away matches.

    I play aggressive 4231 where my top4 players is closing down much more, and they can benefit from small pitch.

    On the other hand, my pacy wingers and forward who trying to beat offside trap may take advantage from large pitch size.

    Sporting CP was one of the 3 biggest clubs in Portugal already and I just won CL, so my reputation is way bigger than other league clubs, so in theory they should play defensive against us. What pitch size would you suggest me to choose?

    Defensive and Structured, with this distribution of duties would result in considerably lower mentalities so lots of side-ways passing, very conservative play and minimal creative freedom to break from that. You'd probably get good possession and passing numbers but - to me - it'd be tika-taka at it's worst. You'd need to think very carefully about how you turn this into positive, pro-active football.

    I can understand where you are coming from in terms of Guardiola having structured teams, however I think we are misusing the word structured in an FM context.

    The structure in Guardiola's case is the half-back dropping deep to get the ball, with inside forwards staying wide until late on, the controlled build up play, triangles in midfield etc, etc. None of these things require using a Structured team shape, instead you implement them in your team structure.

    Apologies if that is complicated.

    Think this way - Very Fluid gives your players freedom to play football within a structure / framework. Which - in my opinion - replicates Guardiola, but we do all see football differently so do what you see fit.

     

    How about number of passing in your control mentality?

    How many times Iniesta (in Xavi role) pass the ball per game? is it close to RL? 

     

     

    And one think about DLP risky passes discussion - in 4 year under Joseph Guardiola, Iniesta menage to get 35 assist, while Xavi 64. Ofc Xavis role evolved from roaming playmaker in 2008-2010 (45 assists) to DLP or even regista 2010-2012 (19 assist), but this stats prove they both got at least the same risk takes/creative freedom instructions.

    IMO Iniesta opens space by dribble more than by through ball

  10. Hey Ö-zil to the Arsenal!. Thanks for that great topic! 
    Recently I've made tactic inspired by Pep Guardiolas' Barcelona, to my Malaga save and im pretty happy with final result.
    When I was thinking about fluidity, I found some problems. Barcelona style of play had some parts of fluid/very fluid style, but also some of rigrid. Compactness of lines, changing positions, whole team involved in defensive as well as in build up looks like fluid systems.
    But theres some examples of rigrid style. I think Peps' players wosn't allowed to creative freedom, almost at all. Ball distribution in build up play was highly planned. Only Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Alves was allowed to improvise. Xavi and Alves with their passing, Iniesta with dribbling and Messi with both.

    For me Barcelona mentality in FM terms was defensive/counter. No other mentality allows more save passing options to control the tempo rather than risky pass to score a goal.

    In the midfield I use DM(S), Roaming Playmerker in DM strata and AP(A). Half Back role usually f**** up my CD positioning, and "comes deep to gets a ball" PPM makes DM(S) really similar in hes behaviour to Toure/Busquets.

    What do You think about recreating Barcelona 08-12 with Defensive/Structured options?

    edit: and what do you think about Oliver Torres attributes for this kind of football?

  11. I have a question about 'B' teams in Spanish league. As far as I know, the 'B' teams are separate from the main team. I see in editor that both teams, for example Malaga and Malaga B got different training facilities (13 for Malaga and 14 for Malaga B in that case). So players in B team truly train in better facilities than players in main squad?
